Hello everyone, I'm a little new to MFP as well and so far I've just been trying to find a place to fit in. Do you all mind if I join you? I admit I have been doing the shred for a couple of weeks, but I can use the motivation and it definitely won't hurt to keep going. I was so excited that I didn't even check the entire thread so forgive me if I ask questions that have been answered previously.
Welcome to the challenge! Are you on Level 2?!

Hi Everyone,
I'm a newish MFP member. Can I still joint this challenge??
I fell off the wagon for a couple of weeks because I rolled my ankle playing soccer. This looked like a good way for my to get back into in and stay motivated.
I plan on doing the Shred 5x/week. I currently work 6 days/week and need a day to do errands etc.
I started doing Shred because I hurt my calf muscle while playing soccer...it only ended up being sore for two days and now I have to do another 27 days of Shred, lol

i started the shred monday as well! So id like to join the group and check in with ya.
My starting measurements are
210- I havent measured myself but plan on doing that friday.
Today is day 3, and im already wishing they made toilets higher up! LOL.
Good luck tonight ladies!
LOl at higher toilet seats!!! Welcome!
Kim0 -
Day 3 complete for me! Yay.
I even did a cardio aerobics class at the gym.
I'm still switching up her moves to make it a lil more challenging for me - however this may bite me in the butt come Level 2 - didn't watch them ahead of time to see if anything changes or if it's all new.
My fly's I do in a "bridge" position. Punches are a combination as well as sometimes w/ 3lb dumb bells. I still hate side lunge with lateral raise and I use 3lbs for that. Everything else is a mix between 3, 5, and 8lb.
Keep up the good work! We've almost made it to level 20 -
Just did Day 2.....it was much better than Day 1...
I did all of the jumping jacks with no substituting this time...I am so proud of me. I did one set of wall push ups and and then the girl push-ups and I was able to do 10 in a row...way better than the 5 I could barely do on Monday
Time to get me some 3lbs weights though for now I am using two cans of peas :blushing:
and to top it all off I did it right after 40 minutes of Zumba Woo Hoo!!!.....didnt think I could do it but I told myself I can let myself get more days behind the group....so glad I joined this group...now I have an extra push to do this workout
Awesome job Sugar! 40 minutes of Zumba too, eh? Amazing! You know what? you just inspired me to go do some TurboJam. Thanks

You can do it, Amchamp. In the beginning it's going to be HARD!!! But it will get easier each day. Some days will be harder than others, but you just have to push through it. If you really want to do it you will.
It took me 3 years of *****ing and complaining about my weight. I finally decided to REALLY do something about it. I have had success immediately and I am on a roll.
Don't make your goals too unattainable. Set mini goals and meet them and in the end you will meet your long term, big goal. Reward yourself when you meet your mini goals. You can do this!!! Track your food and be honest about it. Stop drinking the soda (even diet) and stop with the sugar. But treat yourself occasionally. Otherwise you will binge. Find alternatives to the sugar, eat fruit instead.
Put your DVD in and do what you can. Then tomorrow, do it again. And on and on and on.
(I also suggest you read the success stories in the forums. They are amazing.)0 -
I just finished day 4 of level 1. My stamina was better and I was able to do more high impact work tonight. I also held a can of tomatos (14oz) in each hand as weights tonight. The other 3 nights I didn't use any weight. I could def feel the difference.0

YES! She is right, read the stories and look at before and after pictures. Thats what I do when i feel like I don't want to do it today.
DO NOT DRINK YOUR CALORIES!!! Thats one of the things people just don't get. Drink plenty of water and add ALL Your food, don't forget the dressing, butter or mayo it gets easier when you get the hang of it and when you start seeing a change you will get addicted. I lost 9 lbs in 2 weeks and haven't lost anything in the last 2 weeks. BUT I lost an inch in my arms... Still feels good. Do Jillians workout. She will kick your butt and you will want to puch her in the teeth, but just remember we are doing it together
Good luck and check in everyday!!!!
oh yes, AND don't hurt your self.0 -

right on!!!! I did day 3 today. Got hubby to do it too. I wish my weights were heavier for some of the workouts and lighter for others. My shin is killing me though... i think i get shin splints? ugh! I am just icing it right away and pushing through the pain.0 -
Day 3 down!! I'm not sure it's getting any easier for me, I'm trying to push harder. Think I might like to use less weight. Started with 4 lbs and really felt it today in my shoulders. I'm kinda sore in the morning but it's better after walking 2 miles in the morning to get me going. I don't do my "shredding" until I come home from work at 5:30 and it's kind of a pick me up after sitting all day.
I'm not sure I will have even the modified routine down really well after just 10 days, do you have to move to level 2 after 10 days or can you stay on level 1 until your really comfortable with it.
Didn't lose any more weight yet, kinda bummed about that but will definitely keep going . Really hoping to see some measurement results at day 10 even if there isn't any weight loss. 0 -
Day 4, 30 Day Shred: complete! (and I even bumped up my intensity!) I shouldn't be surprised that a full 8 hours of sleep makes working out SO much better! 0

Welcome to all the newbies :flowerforyou:0 -

Kim
I am not on level 2 because I don't have the dvd. I am doing it through Comcast on demand and they only have level 1 up now. I will be getting the dvd's to start when you all make it to that level. I love the idea of having us on working it together.0 -

Great job!!! So glad that you are enjoying it.0 -
I completed Day 4 this morning before work and plan on doing my daily 4 mile walk this evening. I was able to do a little better at it today. It is amazing at the endurance change in just a few workouts. So thankful for this group. Y'all motivate me along with my sis who is doing this too.

Good job, everyone! It's awesome to be part of such an inspiring and dedicated group! It's tough to do this every day, but I expect that our before and after pics will be AMAZING! :happy:0
-
Im actually quite excited to do day 4 today! I like knowing im ahlfway to the next level. My pushups look a bit better, i still look like a hot mess doing jumping jacks, I swear im going to give myself a black eye. lol.
But th ebest part of the shred? When you get to the cool down stretching, it feels AMAZING to stretch the sore muscles! Like better than sex good...maybe. lol.
Im doing the shred along with walking a mile uphill, or the elipitical at 5 resistance for 15 mins & weight lifting.
I can not wait to see results!!0 -
Okay I just had to post this! It made me CRACK UP!!
"Day 3 - I coupled the 30 Day Shred with a 10K run this morning. Many people have asked if the Shred is going to replace my normal workouts. NO! I have a 15 mile trail run in 1 month, and although I do believe this is a great workout, I also know it does not replace running 20 – 25 miles a week. So, I view the Shred as a "supplement" to my training. However, I think it could be an excellent stand-alone workout for others! I had a great time this morning "shredding." Jillian, you are truly growing on me…I just love the "You can do it!" attitude. However, the fitness models irritate me. Anita, you make it look too easy. I can’t even breathe during the modified workouts and there you are, bouncing around like you’re on crack. Oh, Anita!! I’m still doing modified push-ups for most of the push-ups, but I’m trying to slowly switch to the real thing."

This group is keeping me motivated too. Love it. About to do day 4.
-Sugar, I downloaded Zumba and did all 45 minutes yesterday. It was fun. Thanks 0 -
Something I LOVE about the Shred is that Jillian makes you do cardio, i am panting and close to passing out, lol. Then I am so thankfull for the "rest" I get with strength, till i think my arms and legs are about to fall off, she switches it up again. It's perfect!0
-
I found myself talking back to the DVD LOL
When Jillian was like YOU CAN DO THIS
I was like YEAH! lol...then I wanted to punch her and run away by the end of it

I'm with you. I did day 4 this morning (yay me!). It was easier today, but still not easy by a long shot. Didn't take any breaks, managed to actually do the butt-kick jog. Never in my life would I have thought that I couldn't do cardio for 2 minutes. It feels like an eternity. Just when I'm ready to pass out, she moves on. I almost look forward to the ab work because I get to lay down.
I'm not quite as sore today as I have been, but still find myself making unitentional "old lady" moans when I try to stand after sitting for a while. This dvd should knock a good 10 years off my age.0 -
